Episode 55: Mushroom Music

This is episode number 2 in Arkansas, but very different from the frog catching. In NW Arkansas where the beautiful Ozarks rule — a couple of hippies started growing shiitakes in the forest some 20 odd years ago. Today, they are harvesting hundreds of thousands of pounds of the Japanese mushrooms off of logs. It’s an impressive operation that only improves when you meet the owners Carole Anne and Curly… who both happen to kick it on the banjo.

OMG……that was sooo cool. You did a wonderful job of capturing Carole Anne and Curly’s important work. The music enhanced and invigorated the episode. This is the kind of road trip I will keep watching. Way to go Daniel and Mirra!!!!!

It makes me so happy to see more farms in our area surviving and thriving by doing things the right way. I can’t wait to pick up some of their shrooms at The Truck Patch in Mountain Home!! I really want to try that soup out.
